Hi everybody,

This is a great website and I'm grateful for it. I'm sure it's helped a lot of people. I wanna say this though. Don't always listen to the people on here. Each case is individual and each US embassy has their own rules and requirements. If you have a question or problem don't be scared to get in touch with the US embassy in your home country. They give you the facts. I'm speaking from experience. I had a little problem and people were kind of negative about it. I didn't get discouraged and wrote an e-mail to the embassy and it paid off. I found a solution. Just thought this might be helpful for some people. Best of luck to everybody! :-)

Don't always listen to the people on here.....listen to ALL the people on here and make your own decisions. :thumbs:

Thread has been moved from the Off-Topic forum to the General Immigration Related discussion forum as it is about immigration concerns and not really 'off-topic'. :)

“...Isn't it splendid to think of all the things there are to find out about? It just makes me feel glad to be alive--it's such an interesting world. It wouldn't be half so interesting if we knew all about everything, would it? There'd be no scope for imagination then, would there?”

Some consulates will intentionally deceive you. I speak from experience. Also, never ask a barber if you need a haircut.

A better secret to success is to read the links atop every VJ page -- Embassy Info and Reviews: Embassy -- and pay attention to the WORST accounts.

06-04-2007 = TSC stamps postal return-receipt for I-129f.

06-11-2007 = NOA1 date (unknown to me).

07-20-2007 = Phoned Immigration Officer; got WAC#; where's NOA1?

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

12-11-2007 = 180 days; file is "between workstations, may be early Jan."; touches 12/11 & 12/12.

12-18-2007 = Call; file is with Division 9 ofcr. (bckgrnd check); e-prompt to shake it; touch.

12-19-2007 = NOA2 by e-mail & web, dated 12-18-07 (187 days; 201 per VJ); in mail 12/24/07.

01-09-2008 = File from USCIS to NVC, 1-4-08; NVC creates file, 1/15/08; to consulate 1/16/08.

01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

05-05-2008 = Infuriating $12 call to non-English-speaking consulate appointment-setter.

05-06-2008 = Better $12 call to English-speaker; "joint" interview date 6/30/08 (my selection).

06-30-2008 = Stokes Interrogations w/Ecuadorian (not USC); "wait 2 weeks; we'll mail her."

07-2008 = Daily calls to DOS: "currently processing"; 8/05 = Phoned consulate, got Section Chief; wrote him.

08-07-08 = E-mail from consulate, promising to issue visa "as soon as we get her passport" (on 8/12, per DHL).

08-27-08 = Phoned consulate (they "couldn't find" our file); visa DHL'd 8/28; in hand 9/1; through POE on 10/9 with NO hassles(!).
